A/N: I couldn't help but feel the need to do something for the wonderful story of Rurouni Kenshin. This whole story is proof that with the great will to overcome one's horrible pasted mistakes it can truly be done. And it also proves that no matter how dark the deed was, happiness can still be possible. I own nothing, all the characters belong to Nobuhiro Watsuki.

With the wedding now finished and his lovely wife sitting by the bed mats awaiting her new husband. She simply set and waited allowing him time to think. Since a few days before the wedding, she had noticed him being more to himself and she figured his past life was haunting him. She was right of course, his past was indeed on his mind.

'Did you ever wish to rid your mind of all the horrible things you once did? For me it is not that simple, that it is not. My name is Himura Kenshin, but before that I was known as Battōsai the man slayer. A murderous life I have long left be hind me, that I have. I spent ten years traveling Japan with my Sakabatō in search of redemption, with a vow to never kill again. Which I have kept that promise to this very day, that I have. Though I feel the credit for my staying true to my word is partly because of Miss Kaoru. After all it was after meeting her that I finally found my place and was no longer a wondering swordsman. After a few hard battles, and everything settled down. I decided that maybe I should take Miss Kaoru as my wife. Still tragic memories of a time long ago in Kyoto, have hunted me, that they surely have. It was not easy to forget such a horrible act that was placed in hands, one murder among so many that was not needed.'

"Oh Ken-sshiinnn! Are you going to stand there all day or are you planning on making love to your new wife?" Kaoru asked, in a sexy tone while she slid the neck part of her kimono down. Kenshin swallowed hard as she soon relived herself to him.

"Oro?"

First her shoulders then her chest, followed by her breasts. His eyes widened even more when she glided her hand slowly down over her left breast, as if teasing herself right in front of him. "Come Kenshin, let's see if my sheath can handle your big sword?" She licked her lips and continued moving her hand even lower, till she reached her folds. "Oh please Kenshin, what more do I have to do?" She asked in a husky voice.

Still his body refused to move, all he could do was stand there and admire her now naked body. And to make it even worst the way she was teasing herself, had him so hard he feared his fundoshi was going to rip open inside his hakama. 'Why can't I move, am I afraid of something? All I wish to do is make love to my new wife, still a part of me is afraid, that I am.' Once again he tried to move forward, and managed to take a few steps closer. When suddenly her hand grabbed his.

"Oro!" Escaped his lips before he fell face first between her breasts. He mumbled something but she couldn't make out his words.

"What did you say Kenshin, I couldn't hear you. Although while you're buried between my mountains why not have a taste?" Trying to help him along she moved her hands up into the collar of his kimono, and moved it down. Her hands traveled to his back under his gi, while letting her nails dig into his skin a little and was rewarded with a small shiver from him. Still he did nothing and it was starting to worry her. Plus something hard was poking her in the middle. "Kenshin, is something wrong, did I over do it? Please tell me am...am I that ugly?" Her voice started to go quiet and sobs could be heard. It was then the tears fell and he knew it was time to confess.

Lifting his head slowly he looked into her tear filled eyes, a sight he hated to see. "Please don't cry Kaoru, you're a beauty beyond words to me, that you are. Still it is me that can not move on from my past fears. For I fear the pain if I lost you to my past life would be too painful, that one time was close enough, that it was. And you know there are still ones that wish for my death, that there are." He moved to sit up and found himself pulled back down.

Her lips captured his and for the first time he felt something new. He had dreamed of kissing her like this, but was to afraid his heart would explode if he couldn't feel her lips again. This was his biggest fear, one he needed to over come just like his previous life of killing. For if her life was taken from him now it would be very hard to over come, not that he wouldn't continue life and smile for her in remembrance. Still his heart would break and surely he would wonder again.

Moving back from the kiss, his forehead rested against hers. "Sweet wife Kaoru, I am sorry for upsetting you, that I am. You have been my true savior, that you have. I never said it before, but you were my main reason for surviving." His hands cupped her cheeks and tenderly he kissed her nose, then her lips once more. A smile came to him and when he saw the pure love and commitment written on her ever so happy face, it was like the once sharp swords he carried to slay so many. Was now her love cutting through his walls and left his heart wide open. 'I will never know how she manages to call me back to life, but she never fails, that she does not.'

It was then as she claimed his lips once more, that she felt him remove his gi completely. Once his body was revealed to her, she couldn't help but enjoy herself. And even now, he too began to relax and let his body take over. He wanted this to be perfect and with great care he would give this special woman all of him, scared soul and all. After their passionate kiss, he moved back and smiled. Of course she returned that smile as her hands went to his shoulders and down over his chest. A shiver went through him when her hands went all the way down and gently wrapped around his hard member. "K-Kaoru, this feeling...is unbelievable. It's like you have freed somthing inside me, that it does. I feel so new now please do continue." His eyes closed when he told her to continue and with a grateful smile she stroked his hard cock harder.

With each stroke of his member, Kaoru saw Kenshin's desires start to surface and when she felt his hand slide up her leg and passed her thigh. She knew the ice finally had broken, inside him. "Oh Kenshin, please don't hold back make me yours completely." Her words encouraged him even more and with a finger now on her folds, he proceeded to slide it along her smooth creamy textured valley and into her entrance. Feeling her wettness was a treat and in the heated moment encouraged him to have a taste. Moving his body into position, Kenshin moved her knees apart and leaned down. The first lick made her legs quiver with pleasure, the second was even more intense making her bite her bottom lip. And with not only his tongue working her cavern, his thumb continued to play with her sensitive clit.

"Oh Ken-shin! This is amazing, aaaaaaah!" Her hands were gripping the sheets as he continued to taste her sweet flower. Kaoru's toes were now curled so tight, she felt like they were going to break. And to add to the passion, he had managed to move in closer. Her legs now draped over his shoulders as he licked even deeper into her. "I...I...I can't take much more Ken..shiiiiinn!" When the moan of his name left her lips. Kaoru hit her peak and spill all her juices. A deep blush was on her cheeks, she had never experienced such a wild feeling as she just did. And part of her was feeling shy about how she just reacted.

Moving from her tender area with a lick to his lips, Kenshin couldn't help but smile at her rosy cheeks. "Why so shy Kaoru, we are not the first to make love, that were not." His smile was so warm and tender as she gazed at him. And found even his cheeks married a light tone of red. Sitting up from his spot, Kenshin moved over top of her body kissing a few places on her stomach. A shiver went through her once again, as she bit her bottom lip. Seeing the pleasure he was giving his new wife brought great joy to him. While licking one of Kaoru's nipples a thought came to him. 'Even though my past tries to cause me sadness, I know my happiness will always be here with her. I have moved on Tomoe, and will continue to smile each day.'

As Kenshin enjoyed her mounds, Kaoru's hands released the sheets and found their way to his back once again. Though her nails weren't long, she still managed to leave a few marks down his back. Years of sword fighting had left more then a few scars, but even though these nail marks would be gone by morning. They were a new marking, ones of true love, and the pure pleasure from her actions would be rewarded with even more passion. "Kenshin, do you think us meeting was a mistake?"

"Oro?! Kaoru my love, you shouldn't think such thoughts, that you should not. I am very thankful to have met you that day, that I am." Pausing from his actions, Kenshin leaned forward and rested his forehead on her's. "If I had not met you back then, it is very well possible I would have returned to the battōsai I once was. No, meeting you was no mistake it was a great need. And you are still a great need, that you are." Her hands moved from his back and cupped his cheeks, moving his lips to her's. She wanted to enjoy his sweet taste a little more before the fun truly began.
